Praiseworthy abuses were what British-Pakistani actor Riz Ahmed received from veteran Indian actor, Naseeruddin Shah. Known for his brilliant performance as Changes in The Reluctant Fundamentalist, Riz has also starred in critically acclaimed film Four Lions.
According to Hindustan Times, Riz said that Naseeruddin Shah is amongst his favourite actors. He also shared his first encounter with the great actor:
“I met Naseer saab at Prithvi Theatre. He came up to me and instead of saying a ‘hello’, repeated the Urdu cuss words that I used in Four Lions.”
He further added: “He then said, ‘very good choice of gaalis’. To get a compliment this big from someone like him was an absolutely wonderful feeling.”
